Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Dreyer copies Swift's question mark on the declination into the IC. The declination is not too bad -- only 2 arcmin or so out. Swift's RA, however, is 22 seconds too far east. Aside from that, his description, including the "F * nr p" (the star is 3 arcmin west) is appropriate for the galaxy.
The CGCG includes a faint companion about an arcmin to the east-southeast in the magnitude. A couple of faint stars must also be included.
